As the NorthShore Inline Marathon gears up for its 2025 event, we are excited to announce that we are now accepting partnerships for next year’s race and expo. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Duluth, Minnesota, on September 13th, 2025, this premier event is not only the largest point-to-point inline marathon in the world but also a vibrant celebration of fitness, endurance, and community spirit.
A World-Class Event
The NorthShore Inline Marathon is recognized as the National Championship of Inline Marathons and attracts over 10,000 participants and spectators each year. Featuring a diverse array of competitions including inline skating, running, and rollerskiing, the event offers something for everyone — from elite athletes to recreational enthusiasts.
Partnership Opportunities
We believe that our partners are integral to the success of our marathon. As we aim to double our registration and enhance the race experience by 2025, we are looking for partners who share our vision of promoting health, fitness, and community engagement. Partners benefit from high visibility among a passionate and diverse group of attendees, extensive media coverage, and the opportunity to engage with a large audience in a meaningful way.
